Article I

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) business days) after the date hereof, Parent shall cause Purchaser to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act) the Offer at the Offer Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly after the Expiration Time (and in any event within one (1) business day (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)), accept for payment all such Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn (the date and time of the first acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”) and promptly thereafter pay for such Shares.

(b) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at midnight (Eastern time) on the date that is twenty (20) business days following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) (the latest time as the Offer may expire, as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 1.1, shall be referred to as the “Expiration Time”). If on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time, all of the conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”) shall not have been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Purchaser if permitted hereunder, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for successive periods of up to ten (10) business days each (the length of such period to be determined in good faith by Parent and the Company) until the earlier of (x) the date on which all of the Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived or (y) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1. The Offer may not be terminated or withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, Parent shall cause Purchaser to promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day of such termination) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer.

(c) Purchaser expressly reserves the right, subject to compliance with the Exchange Act, to waive, amend or modify any term or condition of the Offer in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall:

(i) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, decrease the Offer Price or decrease the number of Shares subject to or sought pursuant to the Offer;

(ii) extend the Expiration Time, except as required by this Agreement or Applicable Law (including for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff);

(iii) waive or amend the Minimum Condition;

(iv) impose any condition to the Offer not set forth in Annex I; or

(v) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any Offer Condition or any term of the Offer set forth in this Agreement or in the Offer Documents in a manner adverse to the Company’s shareholders.

(d) Purchaser may, without the consent of the Company, elect to provide a subsequent offering period for the Offer in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act following its acceptance for payment of Shares in the Offer (a “Subsequent Offering Period”).

(e) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file or cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall contain or incorporate by reference the offer to purchase and forms of the related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and other ancillary documents and instruments required thereby pursuant to which the Offer will be made (collectively with any supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company’s shareholders as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to their filing with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that may be received from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt thereof and prior to responding thereto, and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given). Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by Applicable Law or any applicable rules or regulations of NASDAQ. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Purchaser all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Subject to an Adverse Change Recommendation being made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4 prior to the time the Offer Documents are disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents; provided, in the event an Adverse Change Recommendation is made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4 following the time the Offer Documents are disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, each of Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents to correct such information and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, as applicable.

(f) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and shall cause Purchaser to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. Parent shall, and shall ensure that all of its Affiliates, either (i) tender Shares held by them, if any, into the Offer or (ii) transfer such Shares to Purchaser prior to the Acceptance Time.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

(a) The Company, after affording Parent, Purchaser and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and giving reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel, (i) shall file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable on the date of the filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Schedule TO, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, subject to an Adverse Change Recommendation being made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4 prior to the time of filing such Schedule 14D-9, the Company Board Recommendation and (ii) shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the Company’s shareholders as and to the extent required by Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, with respect to clause (i), in the event an Adverse Change Recommendation is made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4 following the time the Schedule 14D-9 is disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, each of Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 to correct such information and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, as applicable. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by Applicable Law or any applicable rules or regulations of NASDAQ.

(b) The Company agrees to provide Parent and Purchaser with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that may be received from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt thereof and prior to responding thereto, and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given).

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company will promptly furnish Purchaser with mailing labels, security position listings, non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any available listing or computer list containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Shares as of the most recent practicable date, and shall furnish Purchaser with such additional available information (including updated lists of holders of Shares and their addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions and non-objecting beneficial owner lists) and such other assistance as Purchaser or its agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to, and soliciting tenders of Shares from, the Company’s record and beneficial shareholders. Subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent, Purchaser and their Representatives shall keep such information confidential (and all such information shall be deemed Evaluation Material and be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) and use the information contained in any such labels, listings and files only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, should the Offer terminate or if this Agreement shall be terminated, will promptly destroy or deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession.

Section 1.3 Directors.

(a) Promptly after the Acceptance Time, and from time to time thereafter, Purchaser will be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Purchaser Designees”) as will give Purchaser representation on the Board of Directors of the Company equal to the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (after giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (ii) the percentage that the number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent or Purchaser at such time (including Shares so accepted for payment) bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding on a Fully Diluted basis, and the Company will, upon request by Purchaser, promptly increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company or use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to provide Purchaser with such level of representation and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Purchaser Designees to be so elected or appointed. From and after the Acceptance Time, the Company shall, upon Parent’s request, to the extent permitted by the applicable requirements of the SEC and NASDAQ, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Purchaser Designees to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Board of Directors of the Company of (i) each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) each board of directors (or similar body) of each wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each such board. The Company’s obligation to appoint Purchaser Designees to the Board of Directors of the Company will be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. At the request of Purchaser, the Company will file with the SEC and mail (or otherwise disseminate as permitted under Applicable Law) to the Company’s shareholders the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Parent and Purchaser will supply to the Company all information with respect to themselves and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and Parent and Purchaser will be solely responsible for such information. For purposes of this Agreement, such information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder that is filed with the SEC and mailed (or otherwise disseminated as permitted under Applicable Law) to the Company’s shareholders will be considered part of the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, at least three (3) of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company shall, at all times prior to the Effective Time, be directors of the Company who were directors of the Company on the date hereof and who qualify as independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ (the “Independent Directors”); provided that if there shall be in office less than three (3) Independent Directors for any reason, the Board of Directors of the Company shall elect the Person designated by the remaining Independent Director or Directors to fill such vacancy and such Person shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for all purposes of this Agreement, or if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors of the Company then in office shall designate and elect three (3) Persons to fill such vacancies who will not be directors, officers, employees or Affiliates of Parent or Purchaser and such Persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after the time that any Purchaser Designees join the Board of Directors of the Company and prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms hereof, (i) any amendment or modification of this Agreement, (ii) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (iii) any extension of time for performance of any of the obligations of Parent or Purchaser hereunder, (iv) any waiver of any condition to the Company’s obligations hereunder or any of the Company’s rights hereunder or (v) any amendment to the Company Charter Documents may be effected only if (in addition to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company as a whole) there are in office one (1) or more Independent Directors and such action is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors then in office. For purposes of considering any matter set forth in this Section 1.3(b), the Independent Directors will be permitted to meet without the presence of the other directors. The Independent Directors will have the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Independent Directors and will have the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement or any of the Company’s rights hereunder.

Section 1.4 Top-Up Option.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of a Share on NASDAQ on the last trading day prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option or (ii) the Offer Price, that number of newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares but excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), shall meet the Short Form Threshold. The Top-Up Option may only be exercised one time by Purchaser, in whole but not in part, and only if clauses (i) and (ii) of the following sentence are satisfied. Parent agrees to cause Purchaser to, and Purchaser shall, exercise the Top-Up Option promptly (but in no event later than one (1) business day) after the Acceptance Time or the expiration of a Subsequent Offering Period, as applicable, if the number of Shares owned by Purchaser at such time does not meet the Short Form Threshold, and if and only if, after giving effect to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, (i) Purchaser would own in the aggregate Shares sufficient to meet the Short Form Threshold and (ii) the number of Top-Up Shares to be issued does not exceed the number of authorized and unissued Shares available under the Company’s articles of organization (and that are not subscribed for or otherwise reserved for issuance); provided, however, that the obligation of Purchaser to exercise the Top-Up Option, and the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option, is subject to the condition that no provision of any Applicable Law or Order shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished consistent with all Applicable Law, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The Top-Up Option shall terminate concurrently with the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with Section 1.4(a), Parent shall so notify the Company in writing and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of Shares that are expected to be owned by Purchaser immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Shares and (ii) a place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares (which, subject to Applicable Law and any required regulatory approvals, shall be effected as promptly as practicable and not more than two (2) business days after the date such notice is delivered to the Company). At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Purchaser shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Purchaser the Top-Up Shares.

(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares shall be paid by Purchaser as follows: (i) the portion of the aggregate purchase price equal to the par value of the Top-Up Shares shall be paid in cash; and (ii) the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price may be paid, at Purchaser’s option, (A) in cash or (B) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the remaining aggregate purchase price, or some combination thereof. Any such promissory note shall be in the form attached hereto as Annex II, and will include the following terms: (x) the maturity date will be one (1) year after issuance; (y) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note will accrue simple interest at a per annum rate of three percent (3%); and (z) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without penalty or prior notice.

(d) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act and would be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Purchaser will be, at the time of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares would be, acquired by Purchaser for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

Section 1.5 The Merger and the Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time (i) Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the provisions of the MBCA, and the separate existence of Purchaser shall cease and (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and shall continue its existence under the MBCA. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the MBCA.

(b) The consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxxx Procter LLP, Exchange Place, 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, at 9:00 a.m. local time no later than the second (2^nd) business day following the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature must be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of such conditions) shall be satisfied or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waived in accordance with this Agreement, or at such other place, time and date as the parties hereto shall agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(c) Purchaser and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated on the Closing Date by filing all necessary documentation, including appropriate articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”), with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Secretary of State”) as provided in the relevant provisions of the MBCA. The Merger shall become effective at the time and on the date that the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Secretary of State, or such later time as is agreed upon by the parties hereto and specified in the Articles of Merger. The time when the Merger becomes effective is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.6 Articles of Organization and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) (i) the articles of organization of the Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit B hereto and (ii) the bylaws of the Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and as so amended shall be the articles of organization and bylaws of the Surviving Company until further amended in accordance with Applicable Law; and

(b) from and after the Effective Time, (i) the directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the directors of the Surviving Company and (ii) the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the officers of the Surviving Company, in each case until their successors shall have been duly elected, appointed or qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Company’s articles of organization and bylaws.

Section 1.7 Approval of Merger.

(a) If the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required by Applicable Law in order to consummate the Merger, the Company shall, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Company Charter Documents:

(i) duly set a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its shareholders (the “Shareholder Meeting”) as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time and the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement for the Shareholder Meeting and use its reasonable best efforts to (x) after consultation with Parent, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the preliminary proxy statement and, following resolution of any such comments with the SEC, cause a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) to be mailed (or otherwise disseminated as permitted under Applicable Law) to its shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Shareholder Meeting and (y) obtain the Shareholder Approval; and

(iii) unless it would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under Applicable Law at such time, include in the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation that the Company shareholders vote in favor of the approval of this Agreement.

(b) At the Shareholder Meeting, if any, each of Parent and Purchaser agrees that it will vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares then owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of the approval of this Agreement.

Section 1.8 Merger Without Meeting of Shareholders. In the event that Purchaser shall acquire sufficient Shares to meet the Short Form Threshold, whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, the parties hereto agree, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective without a meeting of the Company’s shareholders as soon as practicable after Purchaser meets the Short Form Threshold, in accordance with Section 11.05 of the MBCA.

(a) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully-paid, nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Company.

(b) All Shares that are owned by Parent or Purchaser shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Except as provided in Sections 2.1(b) and (e), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price, in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

(d) All of the Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate representing Shares (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.3, without interest. All references in this Agreement to “Certificates” are deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Shares.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(c) or any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to, and who has perfected, appraisal rights for such Shares in accordance with Part 13 of the MBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”), if such Part 13 of the MBCA is determined to be applicable, shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with Part 13 of the MBCA; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, pursuant to Part 13 of the MBCA or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Part 13 of the MBCA, such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(c), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such Share. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Part 13 of the MBCA that relate to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that in any appraisal proceeding with respect to the Dissenting Shares, and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the fair value of the Dissenting Shares will be determined in accordance with Part 13 of the MBCA without regard to the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any promissory note delivered by Purchaser or Parent to the Company in payment for the Top-Up Shares.

Section 2.2 Deposit of Consideration. Prior to the Acceptance Time and pursuant to an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as agent for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to each of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent immediately available funds equal to the aggregate Offer Price and the aggregate Merger Consideration, as applicable, to be paid in respect of Certificates (the “Exchange Fund”), and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay the aggregate Offer Price or the aggregate Merger Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment of or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article II or elsewhere in this Agreement, or affect the amount payable in respect of the Shares, and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent in the amount of any such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by, and backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America. Any and all interest or other amounts earned with respect to such funds shall become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under this Agreement shall be promptly returned to either Parent or the Surviving Company. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares and the payment of the aggregate Offer Price and the aggregate Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares.

Section 2.3 Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event within three (3) business days, Parent shall, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to, send to each record holder of Shares at the Effective Time whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (i) a letter of transmittal reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificate(s) (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificate(s))) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) to the Exchange Agent and shall be substantially in such form and have such other provisions as shall be prescribed by the Exchange Agent Agreement and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificate(s) in exchange for the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Certificate.

(b) Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of its Certificate(s), accompanied by a properly completed Letter of Transmittal (or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Shares), a holder of Shares will be entitled to receive, promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two (2) business days of the later of such surrender or the Effective Time), the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares represented by its Certificate(s). Until so surrendered and except with respect to Dissenting Shares (if any), each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of any Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than to settle transfers of Shares that occurred prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article II.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.3 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(f) After consultation with and providing adequate notice to the Company (except with respect to withholding for compensatory payments), each of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and are paid to the applicable Taxing authority by Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such customary amount as the Surviving Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this Article II.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Each Company Option, whether vested or unvested or exercisable or unexercisable, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, shall become fully vested and exercisable as of the Acceptance Time. Each such Company Option that is outstanding prior to the Acceptance Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled as of the Acceptance Time and converted into the right to receive (without interest), an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings), payable in a lump sum through the Company’s payroll system as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the next regularly-scheduled payroll date) after the Acceptance Time, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration minus (y) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company Option.

(b) Each restricted stock unit award (the “Company RSUs”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unsettled immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, shall become fully vested as of the Acceptance Time. Each such Company RSU that is outstanding and unsettled prior to the Acceptance Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled as of the Acceptance Time and converted into the right to receive (without interest), an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings), payable in a lump sum through the Company’s payroll system as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the next regularly-scheduled payroll date) after the Acceptance Time, equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company RSU.

(c) Each Company Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Acceptance Time shall accelerate and become fully vested such that the Company’s right of reacquisition or repurchase, as applicable, shall lapse in full effective immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Acceptance Time. Each Share underlying such Company Restricted Stock Awards (the “Company Restricted Shares”) that is outstanding shall be treated as an outstanding Share for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of tendering pursuant to the Offer.

(d) At or prior to the Acceptance Time, the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and the Company shall take any actions that are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4.

Section 2.5 Adjustment. If, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the Offer Price, Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.6 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Purchaser and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Company and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Purchaser, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

Article V

CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

Section 5.1 Access and Investigation.

(a) During the Interim Period, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, the Company shall, and shall cause the respective Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to: (i) provide Parent and Parent’s Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours of the Company to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives, personnel, properties, assets and to all existing books, Contracts, records, filings, submissions, Tax Returns, work papers and other documents and information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (ii) furnish promptly to Parent and Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives such copies of the existing books, contracts, records, filings, submissions, Tax Returns, work papers and other documents and information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and with such additional financial, operating and other data and information regarding the business, properties, and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted at Parent’s expense, at a reasonable time, under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company, and in such a manner as to not interfere unreasonably with the normal operation of the business of the Company. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company. With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.1, Parent shall comply with, and shall instruct the applicable Representatives of Parent to comply with, all of its confidentiality and non-use obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement dated November 12, 2014 and amended as of December 29, 2015, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent and Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, contact any employee, consultant, customer, licensee, partner, supplier or vendor of the Company in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent, and Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged and supervised by Representatives of the Company.

(b) Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose any information to Parent or Purchaser if such disclosure would, in the Company’s reasonable discretion (i) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (provided that the Company will nonetheless provide Parent or Purchaser and the applicable Representatives of Parent or Purchaser with appropriate information regarding the factual basis underlying any circumstances that resulted in the preparation of such privileged analyses so long as such privilege will not be jeopardized thereby) or (ii) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the date hereof, including any confidentiality agreement to which the Company or its Affiliates is a party (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any such agreement’s counterparty to such inspection or disclosure). The Company and Parent will each use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

Section 5.3 No Solicitation.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.4(b) and (c) and except as permitted by this Section 5.3, until the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1:

(i) the Company shall not, nor shall the Company permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall the Company authorize any of its Representatives or any of its Subsidiary’s Representatives to, and the Company shall not publicly propose to, directly or indirectly (other than with respect to Parent and Purchaser), (A) solicit, initiate, facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Third Party regarding an Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any Third Party information or provide to any Third Party access to the businesses, properties, assets or personnel of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal or (C) enter into any letter of intent, agreement, contract, commitment or agreement in principle with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or enter into any agreement, contract or commitment requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(ii) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing discussions or negotiations with any Third Party theretofore conducted by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives with respect to an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 (except for any immaterial breach of this Section 5.3 by a Representative of the Company who is not an officer or director of the Company), (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (iv) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (A) or (B) below would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of the Company under Applicable Law, then the Company may (A) furnish information and data with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal and afford such Third Party access to the businesses, properties, assets and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (B) enter into, maintain and participate in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate, any such discussions or negotiations; provided, however, that the Company (1) will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries or its or their Representatives to, furnish any non-public information except pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (2) will promptly provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries or access provided to such Third Party which was not previously provided to Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Representatives may (without any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof or consultation with the Company Financial Advisor or outside legal counsel) (x) following the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal from a Third Party that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 (except for any immaterial breach of this Section 5.3 by a Representative of the Company who is not an officer or director of the Company), contact such Third Party solely in order to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of an Acquisition Proposal made by such Third Party so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and/or (y) direct any Persons to this Agreement, including the specific provisions of this Section 5.3.

(c) From and after the date hereof, and except to the extent expressly prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in place as of the date hereof, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent of any Acquisition Proposal, which notification shall include (i) a copy of the applicable written Acquisition Proposal (or, if oral, the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal) and (ii) the identity of the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any such Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions thereof (including any change in price or form of consideration or other material amendment thereto), including by providing a copy of material documentation relating thereto that is exchanged between the Third Party (or its Representatives) making such Acquisition Proposal and the Company (or its Representatives) within twenty four (24) hours after receipt thereof (except to the extent expressly prohibited by a confidentiality agreement in place as of the date hereof).

(d) The Company agrees not to release or permit the release of any Person from, or to waive or permit the waiver or termination of any provision of, any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, other than to the extent the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

Section 5.4 Company Recommendation.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.4(b) and (c), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify the Company Board Recommendation, in each case in any manner adverse to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to as an “Adverse Change Recommendation”).

(b) (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 5.4(a), at any time prior to the Control Time, the Board of Directors of the Company may, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under Applicable Law, (A) make an Adverse Change Recommendation in response to either (1) a Superior Proposal received after the date hereof or (2) any material fact, event, change, development or circumstance not known by the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date hereof and not relating to the receipt, existence or terms of any Acquisition Proposal or consequence thereof (such fact, event, change, development or circumstance, an “Intervening Event”) or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) and authorize the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (which agreement shall be entered into substantially concurrently with such termination (or no later than the next business day if such termination occurs on a day that is not a business day)), subject in each case to compliance with the terms of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, as applicable.

(ii) In the case of a Superior Proposal, no Adverse Change Recommendation pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) and/or no termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) may be made:

(A) until after the third (3^rd) business day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to make an Adverse Change Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including, if applicable, the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Third Party making, such Superior Proposal, and a copy of any other relevant transaction documents;

(B) unless during such three (3) business day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Board of Directors of the Company to maintain the Company Board Recommendation and not make an Adverse Change Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement; and

(C) unless, prior to the expiration of such three (3) business day period, Parent does not make a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s shareholders as the Superior Proposal.

The provisions of this Section 5.4(b)(ii) shall also apply to any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal, in which case such amendment shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b)(ii), except that any reference to three (3) business days shall instead be to two (2) business days.

(iii) In the case of an Intervening Event, no Adverse Change Recommendation pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) may be made:

(A) until after the third (3^rd) business day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reason for the Adverse Change Recommendation, in reasonable detail (and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of material developments with respect thereto); and

(B) unless during such three (3) business day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to enable Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Change Recommendation; and

(C) unless, by the expiration of such three (3) business day period, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, taking into consideration any amendments to this Agreement proposed by Parent (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), that the failure to effect an Adverse Change Recommendation would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under Applicable Law.

(c) Nothing contained in Sections 5.3 or 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to make such disclosure would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under Applicable Law or any disclosure requirements under Applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure of a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed an Adverse Change Recommendation unless the Board of Directors of the Company publicly states that its recommendation with respect to this Agreement has not changed or refers shareholders to the prior recommendation of the Board of Directors with respect to this Agreement.

(d) The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.3 by any Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(e) The Company shall not take any action to exempt any Person (other than Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates) from the restrictions on “business combinations” under Applicable Law or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply, or agree to do any of the foregoing, in each case unless such actions are taken substantially concurrently with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f).

Parent shall pay all filing fees payable to any Governmental Body under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws, and the Company shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments to any Governmental Body in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or such other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Subject to Applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Body in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; and provided, however, that outside counsel shall not disclose such information to such other parties if the information is designated by the providing party as “outside counsel only”. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Applicable Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding in respect of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party hereto will permit and give advanced notice to authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall be entitled to direct the antitrust defense of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Body or other person relating to the Agreement, the Offer, or the Merger (including any possible Divestiture Action, as defined below), and provided that Parent shall consult with, and consider in good faith the views of, the Company throughout the antitrust defense of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including by providing the Company with reasonable opportunity to evaluate, as promptly as practicable, steps to be taken in pursuit of such defense. The Company shall not make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Body with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy (including any possible Divestiture Action), or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically requested by or agreed with Parent. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide full and effective support of Parent in all material respects in all such investigations, litigation, negotiations and discussions to the extent requested by Parent.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent agrees to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Body, so as to enable the parties to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) business days prior to the End Date), including (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the sale, license, transfer, assignment or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, transferring, assigning, restructuring, or waiving existing agreements, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries and (iii) creating or consenting to create any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations, behavioral undertakings or other arrangements of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries (and, in each case, to enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Body in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets, by consenting to such action by the Company; provided, however, that any such action may be conditioned upon consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each a “Divestiture Action”) as may be necessary or required, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any order, decree or ruling, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to ensure that no Governmental Body with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, fails to do so as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than three (3) business days prior to the End Date; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement requires Parent or the Company to take, or cause to be taken, any Divestiture Action with respect to any of the assets, businesses or product lines of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any combination thereof, if such action would exceed the Detriment Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Detriment Limit” would be exceeded if the assets, businesses or product lines subject to Divestiture Action in order to obtain actions or nonactions, waivers, authorizations, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, clearances, consents and approvals from Governmental Bodies account for more than $4,000,000 of revenue for the twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2015. The parties hereto agree that the calculation of revenue for determining whether the Detriment Limit has been exceeded shall be measured by reference to the lowest such revenue of Parent or the Company for each such overlapping asset, business or product line subject to Divestiture Action, regardless of which asset, business or product line Parent actually selects for such Divestiture Action.

(f) In the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Proceeding is commenced challenging the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such litigation, action or Proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall take any and all action to resolve any such litigation, action or Proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a) For a period commencing upon the Control Time and continuing through December 31, 2016, subject to the last sentence hereof, Parent shall provide each employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company (or any Subsidiary thereof) following the Control Time (the “Continuing Employees”) with (i) base salary or base hourly rate, in each case in an amount at least equal to the level that was provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Control Time, and (ii) employee benefits (other than equity awards) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Control Time. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to receive the severance benefits set forth in Schedule 6.2 in the event such Continuing Employee is terminated without cause at any time before the first anniversary of the Control Time, (ii) Parent shall assume and honor the terms of the agreements set forth in Schedule 6.2 and (iii) Parent shall honor those base salary or base hourly rate merit increases set forth in Schedule 6.2.

(b) From and after the Control Time, Parent shall cause the service of each Continuing Employee to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under each compensation, retirement, vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Company or any of their ERISA Affiliates, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Employee Plan immediately prior to the Control Time and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

(c) From and after the Control Time, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that provides for dental, medical or vision benefits in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to his commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan but, with respect to long-term disability and life insurance benefits and coverage, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable insurance contracts in effect as of the Control Time; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 6.2(d) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for the applicable calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Employee Plan.

(d) Parent, the Company and the Surviving Company acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.2 are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and shall not create any right in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Employee Plan or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Parent, the Company, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to amend any Employee Plan or Parent Benefit Plan or to require Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

Section 6.3 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.3(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the amount per policy period the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Company’s and Parent’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 250% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if the Company elects to obtain prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed 250% of the Current Premium. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Company shall: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) for any and all costs, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, which shall be advanced as they are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have made an undertaking, if required by Applicable Law, to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.3(b)), judgments, fines, penalties, taxes or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlements or compromises) imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or other proceeding (whether civil or criminal, formal or informal, and including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency) in which such Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened (regardless of whether as a named party or as a participant other than as a named party, including as a witness) (a “Proceeding”) (A) by reason of such Indemnified Party’s being or having been such director or officer or an employee or agent of the Company or otherwise in connection with any action taken or not taken at the request of the Company or (B) arising out of such Indemnified Party’s service in connection with any other corporation or organization for which he or she serves or has served as director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary at the request of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including in any capacity with respect to any employee benefit plan), in each of clause (A) or (B) whether or not the Indemnified Party continues in such position at the time such Proceeding is brought or threatened and at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law; and (ii) fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to: (x) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnified Party as of the date hereof; and (y) any indemnification provision (including advancement of expenses) and any exculpation provision set forth in the articles of organization, bylaws or resolutions of the Company as in effect on the date hereof. Parent’s and the Surviving Company’s obligations under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in respect of any claim threatened, asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim. If Parent or the Surviving Company fails to comply with its obligations in this Section 6.3(b) and an Indemnified Party makes demand or commences a suit which results in a determination that the Parent or the Surviving Company failed to comply with such obligation, Parent shall pay such Indemnified Party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such demand or suit, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest per annum equal to the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(c) In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to, and Parent shall cause the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, the Independent Directors in connection with their service as directors of the Company for any period following the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3.

(d) If Parent, the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any articles of organization or bylaws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this Section 6.3 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.3 applies unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.3 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.3).

Section 6.4 Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) business days) notify Parent in writing of, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at its own expense) in the defense and settlement of, any Shareholder Litigation. Without otherwise limiting the Indemnified Parties’ rights with regard to the right to counsel, following the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to continue to retain Xxxxxxx Procter LLP or such other counsel selected by such Indemnified Parties prior to the Effective Time to defend any Shareholder Litigation.

Section 6.5 Public Announcement. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to consult with Parent before issuing any press release or making any other public statement with respect to an Adverse Change Recommendation effected in accordance with Sections 5.4(b) or (c) or with respect to its receipt and consideration of any Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.4(c).

Section 6.6 Takeover Laws; Advice of Changes.

(a) If any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions,” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar state anti-takeover law or regulation becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Purchaser, the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Purchaser, and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such law or regulation inapplicable to the foregoing.

(b) Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i)(x) with respect to the Company, has had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Company Material Adverse Effect with respect to it and (y) with respect to Parent or Purchaser, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII or Annex I not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date.

Section 6.7 Section 16 Matters. Promptly after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Shares resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 6.8 Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Applicable Law and rules and policies of NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Company of the Shares from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.9 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall approve, as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act, each agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company that are effective as of the date hereof or are entered into after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time pursuant to which compensation is paid to such officer, director or employee and shall take all other action reasonably necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act.

Article VIII

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company by written notice to the other if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a final and nonappealable Order or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Offer or the Merger or making consummation of the Offer or the Merger illegal; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the issuance, promulgation, enforcement or entry of any such Order;

(c) by Parent by written notice to the Company if prior to the Acceptance Time the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) have effected an Adverse Change Recommendation (provided that, any written notice, including pursuant to Section 5.4, of the Company’s intention to make an Adverse Change Recommendation in advance of making an Adverse Change Recommendation shall not result in Parent having any termination rights pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)), (ii) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the Shares by a Third Party within ten (10) business days after commencement of such offer, or (iii) have materially breached any of its obligations set forth in Section 5.3, and such breach shall have resulted in an Acquisition Proposal;

(d) by the Company by written notice to Parent if Purchaser fails to commence the Offer as provided in Article II; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if such failure to commence the Offer resulted from the breach of this Agreement by the Company;

(f) by the Company by written notice to Parent at any time prior to the Acceptance Time in order to accept a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 5.4(b), and substantially concurrently with such termination (or no later than the next business day if such termination occurs on a day that is not a business day) the Company (i) enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and (ii) pays the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3;

(g) by Parent by written notice to the Company at any time prior to the Acceptance Time in the event of a breach by the Company of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement that would result in any of the Offer Conditions not being satisfied; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 8.1(g), if such a breach or failure is curable by the Company within the earlier of the End Date and twenty (20) business days of the date Parent gives the Company notice of such breach or failure and the Company is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach or failure, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(g) on account of such breach or failure unless such breach or failure shall remain uncured upon the earlier of the End Date and the expiration of such twenty (20) business day period; provided further, however, that Parent shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if either Parent or Purchaser is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement such that the Company would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h); or

(h) by the Company by written notice to Parent prior to the Acceptance Time in the event of a breach by Parent or Purchaser of any representation or warranty or failure to perform in any respect any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement that would result in any of the Offer Conditions not being satisfied; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 8.1(h), if such a breach or failure is curable by Parent within the earlier of the End Date and twenty (20) business days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach or failure and Parent is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach or failure, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(h) on account of such breach or failure unless such breach or failure shall remain uncured upon the earlier of the End Date and the expiration of such twenty (20) business day period; provided further, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) if the Company is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement such that Parent would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g).

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect without liability of any party (or any Representative of such party) to each other party hereto; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8.2, the penultimate sentence of Section 5.1(a), Section 8.3, Article IX and the applicable definitions in Exhibit A or elsewhere in this Agreement shall survive any such termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, Purchaser nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its knowing or intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith or any fraud, subject only, with respect to any such liabilities of the Company, to Section 8.3(b). The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f); or

(iii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or (g), (B) after the date hereof and at or prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made, commenced, submitted or announced and not withdrawn, and (C) the Company consummates an Acquisition Proposal within twelve (12) months after such termination or the Company enters into a definitive agreement within twelve (12) months after such termination to effect an Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal is thereafter consummated (provided that, for purposes of this Section 8.3(b)(iii), all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be replaced with fifty percent (50%));

then the Company shall pay Parent a fee in an amount equal to $4,500,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(i), within three (3) business days after such termination, (y) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(ii), substantially concurrently with termination of this Agreement (or no later than the next business day if such termination occurs on a day that is not a business day), and (z) in the case of Section 8.3(b)(iii), within three (3) business days after consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal. In the event that Parent shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 8.3(b), the receipt of the Company Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than equitable relief to require payment of the Company Termination Fee), any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided that if the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee and Parent and/or Purchaser commences a suit which results in a final, non-appealable judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee or any portion thereof, then the Company shall pay Parent and Purchaser their costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the Company Termination Fee at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding). For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by the Company under this Section 8.3(b) shall be payable only once with respect to this Section 8.3(b) and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that Section 8.3(b) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without such provision, Parent and Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement.
